Текст песни You Remind Me of My Mother (outtake) - George M. Cohan

YOU REMIND ME OF MY MOTHER

You ask me why I fell in love with you.
I'm going to tell you the truth, dear.
I'm going to tell you the truth.
The reason why I fell in love with you
Is because, my darling,
I find that you always bring to my mind
A certain someone I have loved since
Before I cut a tooth.

You remind me of my mother.
My mother was a lot like you.
So many little things you do,
I find they bring to mind my mother.
I never thought there'd be another
Would have that sweet appeal,
Or could make me feel,
That the old fool world was real.
I've got a tin-type of my mother
When mother was a girl like you.
You look a lot alike, you two.
Her hair was just as fair; her eyes used
To twinkle just the same as your eyes do.
You remind me of my mother.
That's why I love you.

I never knew you fell in love with me.
I'm glad you told me the truth, dear.
I'm glad you told me the truth.
'Twas such a lovely thing to say to me,
For I know the love of Mother
Is a love that's like no other,
The sweetest thought that ever could be
Whispered by a youth.

You remind me of my mother.
My mother was a lot like you.
So many little things you do,
I find they bring to mind my mother.
I never thought there'd be another
Would have that sweet appeal,
Or could make me feel,
That the old fool world was real.
I've got a tin-type of my mother
When mother was a girl like you.
You look a lot alike, you two.
Her hair was just as fair; her eyes used
To twinkle just the same as your eyes do.
You remind me of my mother.
That's why I love you.
